"I want it all." "I feel guilty." "I have it all." "I can't do it all." Can working mothers effortlessly balance the motherhood see-saw while fulfilling career aspirations? Is "having it all" a mindset, and do we lie to ourselves thinking we have everything under control, while ignoring the ever-present guilt and anxiety? Do some mothers have it easier, sacrificing one side of the see-saw for the other?
CAN WOMEN HAVE IT ALL?
As a maternity coach who supports mothers making the transition back to work, one of the most common aspirations I hear from working mothers is the desire to balance motherhood, and finding joy and eradicating guilt while progressing in their careers.
Women feel so pressured by the notion that they must do it all, and consequently get asked if they indeed have it all. Spouses, friends, colleagues, and family all look towards mothers as not only the guiding light for their children's upbringing, but also as employees and breadwinners who commit to work and financially help support the home.
